\section{Introduction}
For your dfs lab, we want you to have a standardized environment in which to test your code without hogging the use of the school computers. As such we've customized an image for you to use with the virtualizer of your choice. \color{red} Howerver, we \textbf{strongly} recommend that you use VirtualBox as it will minimize any differences among virtualizers that you may encounter.  We will not provide support for other virtualizers, so use them at your own risk! \color{black}

\section{Downloading and Installation}
Visit:
\begin{verbatim}
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
\end{verbatim}
and download the version that corresponds to the system that you have.
Go through the installation (just agree to everything) and start up VirtualBox. 

\section{Setting it up}
First, make sure you have the image that we've made available to you (440.vdi). 

To create your virtual machine:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Go to File $\rightarrow$ Virtual Media Manager
\item In the manager, click ``Add"
\item Locate the image we gave you and select it.
\item It should appear in the list of hard disks.
\item Click OK to exit the Virtual Media Manager
\end{enumerate}
Then:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Click ``New"
\item Click ``Next"
\item For ``Name", enter a name of your choosing. ``440" will work just fine.
\item Under Operating System, choose ``Linux".
\item Under Version, choose ``Ubuntu".
\item Select the amount of base memory you want the virtual machine to have. The amount the wizard recommends is fine.
\item Choose ``Use existing hard disk" and make sure 440.vdi is selected.
\item Click Finish.
\end{enumerate}

To start up your virtual machine, simply click on it and hit Start.
The username for the machine is 440User and the password is ``systems". You do not have to log in when using the virtual machine.
